David Cameron called on to reveal taxes

David Cameron faced calls to be “straight” with voters about all his private financial affairs after disclosing that he had benefited from an offshore fund set up by his late father.

The British prime minister sold his and wife Samantha’s shares in Blairmore Holdings — one of the tax haven schemes exposed in the Panama Papers leaks — in 2010 and insisted it was not set up as a tax dodge.

However, opposition politicians said he had given the clear impression he had something to hide by only revealing his involvement after days of pressure and a string of statements that failed to mention past investments.
